See I would be tempted too, but if I already made a past commitment to buy somewhere, I guess I would let that follow through... I mean, a $300 something purchase is big to just up and cancel on a small game shop like NCSX... Maybe this is just a good lesson for next time. Instead of buying it first, just contact the store on release day... Could get SNK vs Capcom or KOF2K3 like that
Hehe, it is a hard question and I know how you feel, I did the same with SF2 for the SNES. I had it preordered at EB, but Walmart an hour from me was selling it a week before release... I made my dad drive me up there (litterly, I was rabid) and I bought a copy just before the store closed... Then freaked out all the way home... I was lot younger, but SF2 a week earlier than everyone else... you have to be kidding me...
That is such a good story, but I won't tell it now, it goes way off topic, but just as a side note, it was because of me (and maybe a few others people) that Walmart couldn't sell any Capcom games for like four or five years after that... hehe,
